IDK my opinion has always been for as long as I can remember thinking about it that we do have free will and that the universe is only structured to a point.

But instead of looking at the whole universe look simply here at were we live.

Our world was once balanced; it had a perfect cycle to life and existence, since the dawn of technology that cycle has slowly been destroyed.

Was it meant to happen like that? Was the human race meant to slowly destroy the world?

I would like to think that we could blame it on our ignorance and stubbornness.

We have become a culture who needs material things and without stuff we would surely parish, nature is distant and unknown to us.

At some point in time even humans worked with nature in a peaceful cycle, though there was still war as far back as we can recall, the war that one tribe fought against another still held the cycle. There were unwritten and unspoken rules to these wars.

And yes for the better in some cases our technology has done a world of things to save and help people, but for as many good things it has done it has done just as many bad things.

It’s hard for me to believe that there is something dictating the actions and choices people make in life, if randomness doesn’t exist than neither does choices.

I cannot possibly see how a higher power of some sort decided that the human race would destroy the world created for them, if in fact a higher power did it.

If it wasn’t a higher power than how could randomness not exist what other governing forces but a higher power could make things have a set path and foresee the written path of everything in existence?

Of course a debate one whether or not randomness exists can go on forever because there is a lot that proves both arguments, and no one knows for sure and we may never know.

So in the end all we can really do is rely on our own instincts, what makes you feel safe at night? Is it that someone is watching over you and have a path set out for you so that you are reassured that your existence is not a wasted one? Or is it that we all have free will and randomness in our life and our choices in life really matter because there is no way to know where you are going or what is coming? I prefer the second personally, I like to think that our own destruction is caused by us an no one else is to blame, I like to think that no one is truly judging my actions, and my actions only affect what they appear to affect and do not in actuality touch the that of a higher power.
